That young man will struggle with this for the rest of his life whether they put him behind bars or not. The rifles owner who handed a loaded gun to the employee without telling him (speculation) is partially responsible IMO.

I can’t think of another way the round could have gotten in the gun except it was in there when the gun entered the store. Why wasn’t the chamber open ? So many questions that we could all learn from if answered.

I don't disagree with you. But i think it is a standard in the gun business to always clear a gun that you handle especially if it was handled to you versus one that you picked up. So for the kid to not have cleared the gun is a bad deal.

I have a buddy that is a cop that lives within 2 minutes of the range and was there on the scene. It was a terrible thing.

I don't think the kid did it intentionally so i feel bad for him. But there isn't a difference between that and a couple of kids finding a gun and then accidentally shooting the other kid. Except this kid is supposed to know better.

I personally check a gun after it is handed to me even if I watch someone else check it. I also slide my little finger up into the chamber to check for a cartridge on rifles. Bad past experience on a faulty ejector.

Yep--you never know for sure. Asked the guy behind the counter at my LGS to look at a rifle on the wall. He took it down and handed it to me w/o checking. First thing I did was lift the bolt handle and as I slid it to the rear I saw brass. I pulled it open and handed it back to him. Should have seen the look on his face---it was a rifle on consignment from an estate and they didn't check it. The other 3 rifles on the wall from that estate also had magazines full but nothing in their chambers.

Called it! Does suck for everyone involved.
